Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel Workout Review

The following is the program:
Chest & Back
Legs & Abs
Arms & Shoulders

I’m on week two of the Man of Steel workout and I have to say, it’s very hard!  I have already gained some size and definition and am getting stronger as each week passes.  I’m getting more and more hungry as well lol.  With so many exercises hitting your muscles in different ways it’s hard not to start feeling like Superman.  I can’t wait to see how I end up looking after two or three months of this program.  I highly recommend it and will keep everyone posted on my progress!  Thanks for reading!

Henry Cavill Man of Steel Workout: Chest & Back

Looking to get into Henry Cavill (the new Superman) shape?  Try this Man of Steel workout!  Henry Cavill’s Superman workout heavily consisted of supersets (doing 2 exercises back to back) and working opposing muscle groups together (chest/back, biceps/triceps, etc.).  You move fast during this workout, only taking a 1 – 2 minute break between each superset.  You also do not move on to the next series of exercises until you finished every set of the one you are on.  There are 3 basic workouts in this program and you will want to workout 4 days a week (simply starting the program over once finished with the third workout).

There is room to play around with your exercises in this workout.  For instance, if you don’t have the ability to do the bench press, you can substitute in push ups instead.  If you do substitute in an exercise, just make sure it works the same muscle group as the exercise you are exchanging out.  You are looking to lift heavy here so find a weight you can only do 6 – 10 reps with.  If you can do more than 10, lift heavier.  Henry Cavill also went on a high calorie diet (5,000 calories a day) made up of healthy foods and consisting of a high protein intake.  The following is a basic Chest & Back workout (but again, you can put in any exercises you like, just push yourself):

Superset 1:  Bench Press/Barbell Row
Superset 2:  Incline Bench Press/Pull Ups
Superset 3:  Dumbbell Chest Press/One Arm Back Row
Superset 4:  Dumbbell Fly/Rear Delt Raise
